HISTORY - RANDOM ENCOUNTER

If you've been around my site since the year 2000, you could've been one of the unfortunate ones who saw unfinished webcomic projects. My apologies for those, but if it's any consolation, Random Encounter is what those unfinished webcomic projects mutated into. For one thing, they had parallel concepts which had monsters, ordinary everyday characters, and death (or defying death). Oh, and their titles usually are two words which seem to be chosen by randomly throwing two magnetic poetry words together.

Here's the loosely chronological order on how things morphed from one story to another:

  • (2000) After Death - A story of a boy who seemingly commits suicide and gets reincarnated as a goldfish. And to be reincarnated back to his human form, he had to battle the seven deadly sins as a goldfish. (Yeah, I know. That was pretty screwed up) This was mona's first appearance and her name back then was weena.
  • (2000) Under Ground - A story of a college boy (Migo) who, with the help of his robot (Dude), competes with his gun-crazy arch-enemy for the prize of a ... locker. This was the first appearance of Migo, when he still has goggles. And this was also the first appearance of the Goggles-girl in Random Encounter. What's up with the goggles? I have no idea.
  • (2001) Creature Feature - Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy. Girl discovers that she's a monster and the boy she fell in love with was a vampire. They live happily ever after. This was the first appearance of Mica and the level 2 monster from chapter 2.
  • (2003) Random Encounter - After rearranging the story and rearranging their faces, I launched Random Encounter as a webcomic with rpg / videogame-based humor. The concept was that they're chased by monsters when this stranger dropped into their lives. Halfway through chapter 2, Viper Comics thankfully decided to publish my story.
